This paper builds upon recent research about cycling organizational modes as efficiencyenhancing and their ability to cope with the need of simultaneous exploration and exploitation in organizations. It proposes a longitudinal approach to explore the dynamics of industry and firm strategy and organizational development. Conducting a comprehensive literature review, hypotheses about determinants of cycling behavior and its performance effects are generated. A pooled time series design is introduced to test the research propositions.
